THIS is the first picture of a single mother who seduced a 12-year-old, sleeping with him 191 times.
Angela Sullivan, 36, is facing a lengthy prison sentence for corrupting the boy.
Her home, in Cavendish Road, Middlesbrough, has been attacked since she was arrested and held in prison.
The Northern Echo revealed yesterday how she had a ten-month fling with the boy last year, and gave him a pair of trainers as a present when they had sex for the 100th time.
A neighbour of Sullivan’s, who did not want to be named, said yesterday: “When there was an argument out on the front, I heard a few bits about what had gone on. I heard someone giving her aggro after she was arrested.
“I said to her ‘keep him away, you’re going to get in trouble,’ but she just shrugged. It was sort-of as if she was obsessed with him.
“You just don’t do something like that.”
Another neighbour, who also did not want to be named, said: “It’s been going on over a year but I never thought she was actually sleeping with one of the boys. It’s disgusting.
“Where has his childhood gone? That’s the worst part of all of this.”
When Sullivan appeared at Teesside Crown Court, she admitted ten specimen charges of causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, one for each month.
Her case was adjourned so psychiatric and probation reports can be drawn up, and she will return to court next month to be sentenced. She was remanded in custody until her next appearance.
Sullivan, who has no previous convictions, could be jailed indefinitely for the protection of the public.
